THE SENATE'S STATIONERY SUPPLIES.
Green Smith Provided for His Needs and Then
Signed Orders for Pocket-kniyeS.

Yesterday, while going over a number OF &C
counts left by the late Legislature, one was
found which caps the climax of that species of
official effrontery aptly characterized cheek
1t is an order for stationery drawn by Green
Smith on March Z, the last day of the session,
and filled upon that day Mr.. Smith was just
getting his effects together, preparing to return

One OF the most important public
questions that this legislature will
have to deal with is general law pro-
viding for the incorporation Of cities

the territorial restriction act OF Con-

and the demand Of the day under the
circumstances Is a law under which
all town and cities In Montana may
be Incorporated. The complications
Of the old law were so great that IL
was found impossible TO comply with
them. What 10 wanted now Is q Law

not only in favor Of building war vessels.
but of the fertilization Of every seaport in
the country. He knew that this was
going to cost money. but if there was any
force in the maxim. "In time of peace
prepare for war" this was the time for
putting it in practice, when the treasury
was overlooking and when money was
being absolutely wasted. The question
was taken on the amendment offered yes-
terday by Mr.. Hale, and it was adopted
without division. Other amendments
were adopted, and the bill passed.

What Will They Do About Itp


CHICAGO. Feb. 16.--Ths fact was made
evident to-day that it is not to be at all
smooth sailing with Western railroads in
getting into line with the Interstate COM
merce law, Through rates on the South
western Association lines have always
been held up to a high point, and local
rates. as a whole, kept in harmony, 80
that Southwestern freight agents readily
accommodated their tariffs to the new
law. To-day, however, in a general meet
ing OF agents Of lines running to Kansas
City, Council Bluffs and st. Paul, it was
found that the case was quite different
with the two latter. This was especially
so in regard to Iowa local rates, which are
much in excess of through rates, and
must be advanced if the present revenue
of the roads is to be preserved To do
this, Council Bluffs lines desired the CO.
operation of the Kansas City roads, ask
ing that the last mentioned should also
advance their through rates to help the
Council Bluffs roads cut. A serious diff
ference of opinion Mt once arose. The
lines having no interests except in Kansas
City business, emphatically declined to
pull their neiRhbors chestnuts ont of the
fire. The most general opinion among
officials to night is that the result will be
that each OF the three associations west o.
Chicago will be forced to interpret the Law
independent of each other.

SAN ~FRANcIsoo, Feb. l6.-The police
to-day arrested j. +. Stiles and II. c..
Dean, who are alleged to be the ~perpetra-
tors Of the recent dynamite outrages on
the Suffer and Geary streets cable lines.
The former was captured carly this morn
ing while on the way to put dynamite on
the track. The police had spotted him
and were shadowing his house, 400 Larkin
street. He emerged therefrom at 4:3O
this morning and was closely followed by
four detectives who ordered him TO stop,
but he continued and ten shots we're fired
after him. None struck him, but he was
finally captured by running into the arms
ola policeman coming from the opposite
direction. While fleeing, he was seen to
throw something over a fence into a gar.
den of a residence. This was afterward
recovered and proved to be a dynamite
bomb ready to be placed on a car track.
A quantity Of dynamite and caps was also
found on his person and materials for
making bombs were later found in his
house. Dean was suspected by the police
to be implicated in dynamite plots.
After Stiles arrest a search was made
in Deans house, SO Fourth street, and a
quantity of dynamite was found and other
bomb material. He was arrested. Stiles
claims he had no intention of placing the
dynamite on the track, but had left the
house of friend, Williams, whom he had
started to accompany and assist. He
added it was his intention to obtain suffi-
cient evidence against Williams to convict
him Of the crime, and then expose him to
the authorities and gain the reward
offered for the apprehension of the dyna-
miters. The police, however, place no
faith in Stiles story. Dean denies any
knowledge of dynamite plots and processes
utter ignorance regarding how the bomb
material found in his house got there.
Both are striking car men.

Good Democrat,c Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-The following
the bill for the distribution of seeds in
Texas:
To the House of Representatives. i re-
turn without my approval house bill No.
lO,203 entitled an act to enable the COM
missioner of agriculture to make a special
distribution of seeds in the drought
stricken counties ofTexas, and making an
appropriation therefor.
1t is represented that a long continued
and extensive drought mas existed in GER
tain portions Of the state of Texas, result
ing in the failure of crops and consequent
distress and restitution. Though there
has been some difference in statements
needs in localities thus affected, there
seems to be no doubt that there has ex-
listed a condition calling for relief, and |
am willing to believe that, notwithstand-
ing the and already furnished, the dona-
ton of seed grain to the farmers located
in this region, to enable theru to put in
new crops, would serve to. avert a contin-
uance or return of the unfortunate blight.
And yet | feel obliged to withhold my
approval of the plan as proposed by this
bill, to indulge a benevolent and charita-
bic sentiment through an appropriation of
public funds for that purpose. | can find
no warrant for such an appropriation in
the constitution, and | do not believe that
the power and duty of the general govern
ment ought to be extended to the relief of
individual suffering which is in no manner
properly related to the public service or
benefit. The prevalent tendency to dis
regard the limited mission of this power
and duty should, | think, be steadfastly
resisted. to the end that the lesson should
be constantly enforced hat though the
people support the government, the gov-
ernment should not support the people.
The friendliness and charity of our
countrymen can always be relied upon to
relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune.
This has been repeatedly and quite lately
demonstrated Federal aid in such cases
encourage the expectation of p%aternal care
on the part of the government and weak
ems the sturdiness of our national charac-
ter, while it prevents indulgence among
our people of that kindly sentiment and
conduct which strengthen the bonds of
common brotherhood. 1t is within my
personal knowledge that individual aid
has to some extent already been extended
to the sufferers mentioned in this bni.H
The failure of the proposed appropriation
of SIC, 900 additional to meet their remain
ing wants will not necessarily result in con-
tinued distress if the emergency is fully
made known to the people of the
country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6. Both parties
OF the senate held an order of business
caucus this morning. A list of measures
of the calendar, prepared by the Repub-
lican caucus committee. was laid before
the Democratic caucus. Certain changes
were indicated to the order in which it
was desired that measures should come
up. In the Republican caucus senators
were afforded an opportunity to express
afresh their preferences. Senators Sher-
man and Harris, the chairmen respect
fully of the caucus committee, armed with
the opinions of their caucuses, were au-
thorized to confer with each other and
reach a compromise upon points OF diff
ference. They will probably meet to-
morrow morning and arrange definitely
the order of business for the rest of the

STRAsBuRa, Feb. l6.-Prince Hohen-
lobe, governor of Alsace- Lorraine, has
issued an election manifesto. He says;
Il desire to address u few words 10 the
peopls Alsace- Lorraine a few well
meant wordso counsel; The govern
ment asked for the passage 6fthe septen-
nate army bill because it is persuaded
Germany will be threatened with the
danger Of war as soon as that part OF
the French nation which longs for war
regards the military strength Of France
superior to that of Germany. If Alsace-
Lorraine wishes not to be exposed to the
terrors of another war, let peaceable, con
c~iliatory deputies be elected to the new
reichstag-deputies who accept the peace
Of 1876. Those who vote to return mem
bers of the protesting (anti-G erman) par
ty, or enemies of the government
s%eptennate bill, will be responsible for a
continuance of disquiet and resultant in-
jury to trade ard commerce. If in some
electoral districts the friends of peace find
themselves unable, because Of pressure
from political leaders who put forward
candidates they would like to have elected
to the new reichstag, they may deposit
blank voting papers and in this way ex-
press their views and record the real
opinions Of the country. The reunion OF
Alsace Lorraine to Germany is irrevocable
as long as the German Empire exists.

good sense and your love of home, family

The Central Pacific Snow Blockade

The Central Pacific Snow Blockade
SAN Francisco, Feb. l6.-The snow
blockade on the Central Pacific, which it
was expected would be raised this morn
ing, still continues. No mails have been
received here from the East for three days.
The blockade would have been raised had
it not beel for the conhapse efIhe snow
sheds between Colfax and Blue canyon
last night, which permitted the snow to
accumulate at a new place. 1t also caused
the wreck OF a snow pillow and the derail-
ment of eight engines which were engaged
in clearing the track. No one, however,
was seriously hurt by the accident. A
wrecking train has been sent to the scene,
and Superintendent Fillmore expresses
the opinion that business will be resumed
during the night. Among the s%nowbound
passengers going Eastward are j. W.
Mackay, enroute to Virginia City, and

amount of defalcation, it is thought, will
reach $4,000. Ex-Sheriff Baca promises

the fact that huts have already been con

parations are being made to shelter a sim
liar number around Belfort, we have,
beyond a doubt, to deal with nothing less
than the strengthening of the French line

tiles to throw a large force across the
